title: Quadruply hydrogen bonding modules as highly selective nanoscale adhesive agents.
abstract: Covalently linking DNA base analogues DAN, DeUG, or UPy to glass slides led to functional surfaces that could be glued together using a functionalized polystyrene displaying the complementary recognition unit. Nonspecific adhesion was minimized with fluorinated alkane (Teflon-like or Scotchgard-like) surfaces.
